The Mongols (v3.1)

From Genghis to Kublai Khan

by Harlan Thompson

"The greatest pleasure is to vanquish one's enemies ... to rob them of their wealth, and to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters."

-Genghis Khan



In 1211 Genghis Khan and his Mongol horde swept down from the steppes of Mongolia onto the pages of history. In less than a century the Mongols went from being a small primitive tribe to becoming the masters of the largest land empire in the history of the world. This was truly an amazing feat, and to duplicate it you will need all the intelligence and luck you can muster.
